AMD And THG update

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the burning-down-the-house dept.

Mhrmnhrm writes "In the interests of responsible journalism, the gang over at Tom's Hardware has developed this article in the interests of setting the record straight about their original AMD burn-out video, and the new release (possibly from AMD) of this past week. It would seem that BOTH videos are correct, and that the question of whether or not somebody is hiding something depends entirely upon your own point of view."

    The XPs have the problem that their L1 bridges (which are the ones controlling the multiplier lock) are not only cut but have small troughs between them where they are cut. I will assume that the Palominos have the same problem, otherwise it would be a trivial pencil trick to unlock.

    1. Clean out the troughs. They have scorch marks
    2. Use tape to cover the bridges, but expose the troughs, and fill them with some glue of sorts, then sand them down level
    3. Use pencil trick or conductive ink.
    4. Change multiplier as you like.

    If you use one of the VIA boards (not sure about the DDR ones, but the SDR for sure) you can run the CPU at 200mhz bus, down from 266, but then bump the memory bus back up to where you want it since they are seperate.

    There are several guides online on how to do this. A quick search should yield several.
